Examples of patients undergoing pre-TAVI CT with “non-evaluable” coronary artery segments and consecutive application of CACS. On the left side a patient is presented where pre-TAVI CTA coronary segments were non- evaluable, however CACS was 0 and no obstructive CAD was confirmed by invasive QCA. On the right hand side, a patient is presented, where CTA was non-evaluable, but CACS was above 400 and invasive QCA confirmed obstructive CAD (i.e. high grade stenosis in the LAD/1.diagnoal branch). CACS coronary artery calcium score, CAD coronary artery disease, CTA computed tomography angiography, RCA right coronary artery, LCA left coronary artery
